Thanks, Jeff.  That's not what I wanted to hear, but would rather hear
it now than later.  I was under the impression that I had about 14 psi
(absolute) inlet pressure during the test, and would have (at s/l) 15
psi plus the radiator system pressure on the inlet side, thereby,
reducing the probability of cavitation.  Hadn't considered the temp
effect.

Any suggestions for an easy mod to improve the inlet side?

Thanks, again.
